Rain and Shine

These handmade glass earrings seem to carry with them the quiet light of rainclouds backlit by an unseen sun. In each one, a glass droplet nestles into the curve of a silver wire oval, hinting at the ancient yin-yang symbol of balance. Their look falls in easily with formal glamor or a comfortable pair of jeans.

Jewelry artist Jess Panza grew up at the rainy foot of the Appalachian Mountains, and soaked in the magic of watching raindrops perpetually race each other down the window pane. She now captures that sense of natural wonder in her atmospheric accessories. Handmade in Los Angeles, California.

the maker

Jess Panza

Verre by Jess Panza is a reinvention of age-old glass techniques with the goal set for zero waste of resources and no harm to the environment. The design objective is always to make the work resonate with people, to make it relevant to their lives today. There is no "shock value" relying on cleverness but real, lasting intrinsic beauty. She likes to think of the work as eco-luxe.

Lovely design but very delicate. The glass separates from the metal very easily. In fact, by the time she opened the present, the wear and tear of being knocked around under the Xmas tree had broken one of the earrings.

Looks great on the website, very unique but once it arrived I wasn't impressed. The quality for the cost didn't match. Which surprised me as I have purchased quite a few things from uncommon goods & have been overally satisfied. I will continue to shop here, as I do think the products are uncommon & very cool.

Service and delivery comments:

Item arrived on time & have sense returned the item. Just waiting for my refund. Return information on the back of the packing slip is helpful & so is the FAQ's page on their website.

We're seeing some wonderful comments about Jess Panza's handmade glass designs in our voting app! You loved her necklace and bracelet, so we'd thought we'd give you a look at these uncommon earrings. Do you love how the delicate drop of glass sits in its oval frame?

very nice

Lovely design but am concerned with the malleability of silver and both the potential for the oval to separate and for the hooks to lose their shape after repeated use.
